When is it time to quit bathing with your child?

My brother and I got in an argument. He said his 6 year old daughter is too old to bathe with her mom in a tub, and shamed her to where she was crying because of embarrassment!

My brother has been divorced from his wife for 3 or 4 years. He doesn't approve of anything she does...

I was soo ashamed of him and told him to stop and not to ever talk to her that way in front of me again. I held her and hugged her and told her it was ok, and she could bathe with her mom (and her two year old sister).

I grew up showering with my mom, my cousins, my sister, my brother, to save money, and time. I grew up where my grandpa would come home from work dirty, go into the kitchen, strip his clothes off and run through the house into the shower. I grew up where modesty is ignorance and your body is what every other female has.

My son (4) takes bathes alone most of the time. He showers with my sometimes. Almost never takes a bath with me (he got in the tub with me yesterday just because I wanted him to stop bugging me every 3 min to see if I was done yet
